 Re: Am I supposed to be holding onto the instrument with my left thumb?

Hi Everybody,

Is it possible to have an oboe with a thumb rest too high on the lower register? At times I think that if my oboe's thumb rest was about half an inch lower, I wouldn't have the problem with the tiring right thumb and hand after playing awhile. I also have a problem with the hand being perpendicular to the oboe while playing. It has gotten better with time...
over a year now.
